Due to the delay caused by Pan Yun's entanglement, Qin Mian returned home at the beginning of the year. When he came out early after washing, he found his sister standing in the yard looking at the distant sky.
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister, you haven't rested yet? How is the situation in Xuanfu?"
Qin Zhi smiled softly, "At this level of monks, it is enough to rest for an hour a day. What's the gain when you come back at this time?"
Qin Mian smiled and said, "Very good."
Harvest an 8-year-old Agaricus cinerea, worth 1 high-grade Yuan Stone; a second-level wood civet, worth 60 mid-grade Yuan Stones; and 1 Juedigan and 4 Qi Guo, worth 20 mid-grade Yuan Stones . Of course the harvest is good.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. She did not say anything about the situation in the Xuan Palace, so she insisted on asking, "Sister, how is the situation in your Xuan Palace?"
Qin Zhiqiang smiled and answered with two words, "It's okay."
Qin Mian became anxious, his face immediately turned pale, he stood in front of her, looked at her intently, and asked like a barrage of questions, "Sister, are you starting to collapse again? Didn't you say that you can stop Xuan Fu if you have the meaning of persistence? Collapse?"
Qin Zhi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be so anxious."
Qin Mian said anxiously, "How can I not be anxious? It's all my fault. My plan to earn Yuan Stone has just begun."
Qin Zhi stretched out her hand to rub his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister will wait for you to earn Yuanshi to buy the Heaven-Building Pill. After a day of observation, although it is still collapsing now, the speed is much slower... How many yuan stones can you earn today?"
Qin Mian stared at Qin Zhi for a while, and after realizing that her eyes did not deceive him, he chuckled and said, "It's a good harvest today. I should be able to earn more than 170 middle-grade Yuan stones."
Then he jumped a little and whispered in her ear, "Sister, I have advanced to the early stage of Chongtian Realm."
Qin Zhi hugged his head and stared into his eyes tightly, with mist in her eyes, "Really?"
The voice was very shaky.
After more than 3 years of patience, more than 3 years of constant disappointment, and more than 3 years of perseverance, today we finally have the results.
Qin Mian nodded repeatedly, "Sister, don't use your skills. I'll dance for you."
Immediately ran to the end of the yard, raised one foot, stepped to the other end of the yard, and then returned to Qin Zhi's side, "Sister, I can now walk 12 miles in one step."
Qin Zhi shed tears twice and said with a smile, "Brother, monsters are monsters. Even though it took three years, you still caught up with your peers. Twelve miles in one step, this is something that can only be achieved in the middle stage of Chongtian Realm."
Pulling him to her room, she sat down and said, "Brother, if you advance to the Chongtian realm, you can go to the sect to receive advanced merit point rewards, or you can go to the family to receive subsequent marksmanship skills. There are no skills matching the realm. , the combat power cannot keep up."
"A month later, the sect will hold a big competition. The top 100 at the same level will be rewarded, and the top 10 will be even more. You have just advanced. We are not pursuing rankings, but the opportunity to fight is rare."
Qin Mian is still reluctant to exchange his skills now, because he can now fight level two beasts and successfully attack Pan Yun in the Houtian realm, so his combat power is not bad.
He didn't want to waste time, he wanted to go to the mason bee nest to get honey, he wanted to verify whether there was real lotion in it, and he wanted to empty out the Hunchback Stone Forest as soon as possible. My sister's Xuanfu is still collapsing and she needs to get the honey as soon as possible.
However, he still asked cooperatively, "Sister, what are the rewards for the top 10?"
Qin Zhi smiled and said, "It's different every year. If you rank first in the Chongtian realm, you will basically be rewarded with a total value of 20,000 low-grade Yuan stones."
After hearing this data, Qin Mian still sleepwalked for a while.
Being able to kill level two ferocious beasts, and being able to fight head-on with the early stage of the Houtian realm, the ranking will not be bad, but it is difficult to say whether he can get the first place; 20,000 low-grade Yuan stones are equivalent to 2 high-grade Yuan stones, which is indeed not much. To earn it, you need to spend at least 5 days. Based on today's harvest, it is not worth it.
Participate or not, when the time comes...it depends on the situation.
Qin Zhi saw his expression and suddenly felt that she shouldn't mention this. He had just advanced, so she asked instead, "By the way, you just said you made more than 170 mid-grade Yuan stones today?"
Qin Mian nodded quickly, "An eight-year-old gray mushroom is worth a high-grade Yuan Stone, a ferocious beast and two medicinal materials."
He didn't say it was a level two ferocious beast, for fear of causing her to worry.
Qin Zhi asked in surprise, "Can we still find medicinal materials that are more than 8 years old in the sect?"
Qin Mian chuckled and said, "This is luck. After I sell the medicinal materials tomorrow, I want to visit more places."
For people of Qin Zhi's level, entering the Hunchback Stone Forest to search for medicinal materials is an opportunity to steal low-level disciples, and it is a sign of incompetence, so they always go to some dangerous places outside the sect to find opportunities.
Little did they know that a place like this was truly a treasure trove for Qin Mian, who owned Xiaoding.
Of course, she didn't know that he had entered the Humpback Stone Forest.
Qin Zhi nodded and continued, "Brother, you have also advanced to the Chongtian realm. There are some things you should know. Generally speaking, the furthest flight in the Chongtian realm can reach 20 miles, so I would say that your 12 miles is almost The mid-term level. The strength ranges from 10,000 kilograms to 100,000 kilograms. I don’t know where you are now, so I won’t talk about that for now.”
Qin Mian didn't know how powerful he was, so he just listened to her talk about the relevant knowledge.
"To advance to the Chongtian realm, the starting point is to connect the two meridians of Ren and Du to form a cycle. If you want to continue to advance, you must perform a great cycle every day. In the final analysis, advancing is to activate the acupoints and open the meridians. Which acupoints are used If there are more, those acupoints may be opened first. The opening of 10 to 16 is the early stage, the opening of 17 to 29 is the middle stage, and the opening of 30 to 48 is the late stage.”
"When you enter the Chongtian realm, you need to have a longer view. You can't just think about this realm, but the acquired realm and the innate realm that follow. These three realms can actually be classified into one, that is, the foundation building stage. Just because the history is like this, the three realms have not been merged."
"These three levels are the initial stages of practice, in order to build the foundation of the great road and have a huge impact on the future. During these periods, one must observe and understand everything in the world, purify one's own beliefs, and The body needs to be strengthened, and the path to be taken in the future should be sorted out..."
Qin Zhi talked for more than half an hour, and Qin Mian listened for more than half an hour.
He had learned these things from a large number of books, but it was not very systematic.
It’s not that the sect doesn’t have teachings in this area, but when he was struck by lightning, he had not yet reached Dzogchen, so he didn’t feel in a hurry and didn’t understand these things; after being struck by lightning, he didn’t make any progress, and he no longer had the intention to listen to the teachings on the basic knowledge of the relevant aspects; Later, I went to alchemy, and I never participated in group activities.
After Qin Zhi finished speaking, Qin Mian sat there for a cup of tea, and then returned to his room without asking anything. He came out half an hour later and came to his alchemy room.
Although what she said was very easy to understand, there were many things that the more he thought about it in detail, many of which he could not understand at his current advanced level.
So he came out to refine the elixir. He first refined the elixir to create a way to earn yuan stones, and to buy back the Tianbu Dan as soon as possible to help his sister repair the Xuan Mansion. This is also his current belief...
He took out the alchemy cauldron and placed it on the pit, turned around and sat on the wooden pier against the wall, closed his eyes, and began to sort out his mood.
Refining alchemy usually takes more than an hour. Both mental and physical aspects must be in optimal condition, and the essentials of alchemy must be recalled and sorted out.
After waiting for a cup of tea, he stood up and walked to the alchemy furnace, offered the elixir fire, introduced it into the pit, and started to warm the furnace.
The furnace warming process seems simple, but it is actually quite demanding. First, the temperature of the alchemy furnace should be uniform in different layers, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside should not be too large, which means that the temperature should rise at a uniform speed to prevent the temperature from being uncontrollable when making alchemy; second, it should not be too high or too low. The reason for this is very simple, which is to prevent the loss of medicinal efficacy. Or be destroyed.
This time he was going to refine the Yuan Neng Dan, but only the Yuan Neng Dan had all the medicinal materials available, while the Healing Dan did not have all the medicinal materials, and there was still a shortage of dendrobium.
Most of the medicinal materials for Yuan Neng Dan were obtained by his sister Qin Zhi, and a few of them were found by him in the sect. Great Alchemist Fu Huo also gave him three types.
After touching the furnace once, the entire temperature has reached the furnace heating requirements.
The first thing to put in is the keel root. Among all the medicinal materials in Yuan Neng Dan, dragon bone root is the most difficult to refine, the essence is the most difficult to extract, requires the highest temperature, and is the most time-consuming.
After refining a cup of tea, the essence of the dragon bone root has been extracted. Then the elixir fire is adjusted, the temperature is slowly lowered, and the remaining essence in the dragon bone root is continued to be extracted while cooling down.
When the temperature drops to a suitable temperature, quickly open the furnace lid and throw in the bracts and tiger vines one after another...
After an hour, all the medicinal materials were added.
After another quarter of an hour, the aroma in the furnace overflowed from the gap in the furnace cover. He carefully but quickly added a drop of lotion, and then began to pat the alchemy furnace, beating it like a rotating tumbler.
Cool down.
Reduce the fire, close the fire, and the alchemy furnace continues to spin.
Set the furnace and open the lid.
Four somewhat transparent Yuan Neng pills appeared at the bottom of the furnace, and underneath the pills were medicine residues.
He took out an empty elixir bottle, reached out and grabbed 3 pills and put them into the elixir bottle. He looked a bit like Master Fu Huo.
Holding the elixir fire in the left hand and the fourth Yuan Neng Dan in the right hand, look at the elixir fire through the elixir.
Qin Mian was a little surprised. It was a translucent, first-class elixir refined by a first-class alchemist.
Became a first-level alchemist.
Today I advance to the Chongtian realm, today I become a first-level alchemist, today... double happiness comes to my door.
There are 4 in one furnace, which is stronger than Li Kan and the dead Pan Yun.
The Great Alchemist Fu Huo once said that as long as he advanced to the acquired realm, even a fool could become a first-level alchemist. He didn't explain it in detail at the time, but Qin Mian now understood that it was an improvement in soul power.
From a one-time increase in purity of 80% to 90%, his method has not changed. Maybe the process is more precise than in the past, but the main thing is that the soul power has reached the acquired level.
During the alchemy process, he felt that his soul power entered the alchemy furnace, participated in extracting the essence of the medicine, and participated in stirring the medicinal solution.
He felt a little funny when he thought that Li Kan and Pan Yun were still at the level of first-level alchemists. They probably didn't understand the alchemy process, otherwise they wouldn't be at the level of first-level alchemists.
Maybe the comprehension ability is not very strong.
Putting the fourth Yuan Neng Pill into the elixir bottle, he looked up to the sky and opened his mouth wide. He controlled himself not to make a sound, but he was laughing in his heart: After becoming a first-level alchemist, is the great alchemist still far behind?
200,000 high-grade Yuanshi, hurry up and get it into my pocket...
In the Du family, Du Qiyi came back from outside and knocked on the door outside Du Fei's room. No one responded for a long time. He said to himself in confusion, "This guy said he went to Hunchback Stone Forest to watch that trash show, but he still doesn't know how to do it until now." Didn't you come back? Or did you go drinking?"
At this time, a window of a small courtyard opposite opened, and a head appeared in the window, shouting angrily, "Du Qiyi, what time is it, and you are still knocking on the door. If you don't practice, you won't let others practice." "
Du Qiyi hurriedly bowed, "Brother Qijun, I'm sorry, I just wanted to see if the tip was back, and I wanted to hear the joke he saw."
Du Qijun snorted, "I'm not back. If a loser goes to a place like that, he can only die. What's so good about the liveliness of dead people? Go, go, you don't practice, don't affect the cultivation of others."
Du Qiyi nodded quickly and said while retreating, "Brother Qijun, don't interrupt your practice anymore."
After saying that, he ran away from the yard.
